Basement Kahuna -New Maori Bone Pendant 3/04 - Tiki Carving

The Samoans had similar cubs in their traditions, but much heavier. Just for kicks I notched this one three times! Clubs were often notched to denote kills, and forms with many kills became the most prolifically produced. In the Fijian tradition, clubs with many kills were often given a name and took on a mythic mana, or soul, and were revered as sacred objects and passed down through many generations. This is a large club, with over 40 serrations, 51 inches long. Details on this club can be seen on Tiki Carving Methodology thread..Cat shown for size comparison :)
